WebAssign allows you to access your homework, quizzes, and tests—whatever your instructor chooses—at any time of day or night. Before you start, please note the following important points:
- Most standard Web connections should work with WebAssign. Use Firefox 1.0 or later or Internet Explorer 5.5 or later with a 56 KBPS modem, broadband or school network. We do not recommend the AOL browser.
- Bookmark https://www.webassign.net/login.html or the appropriate address for your school. You cannot skip the login page. WebAssign must know it is you before delivering your assignments!
- Before starting WebAssign on a shared computer, exit any browsers and restart a browser application. If you simply close the browser window or open a new window, login information contained in an encrypted key may not be yours. Likewise, to prevent losing credit for the work you have done, click the Logout link and exit the browser completely when you are finished.
- Make sure that your browser has both JavaScript and Java enabled.
LOGGING IN AND OUT:
You can log in to WebAssign using a Web browser connected to the Internet. Before logging in for the first time, you will need the following information, which you should get from your instructor.
- Your WebAssign username
- Your institution or school’s code. If you do not know your school code, you can search for it from the login page.
- Your initial WebAssign password
To log in to WebAssign, perform the following steps.
1. Open your Web browser and enter the following Web address: https://www.webassign.net/login.html or the web address provided by your instructor.
You will receive the welcome page for WebAssign. From this page, you have access to an on-line guide, support pages, and other information about using the service.
2. Enter your username, institution (school) code, and password.
3. Click Log In.
When you are ready to quit WebAssign, click Logout at the top right.
ACCESS CODES:
Once you log in, you may see a WebAssign Notice about entering an access code for your class. Even before you login, you may hear about Access Codes. Some classes require an Access Code and some classes do not.
If your class is using Access codes, you will be required to enter the code. There may be a short grace period during which you can use WebAssign without entering a code. After the grace period, you must enter a valid code before you can continue using WebAssign. You will always be able to access the WebAssign instructions for entering your code until you complete the process.
- An Access Code is not a password.
- You must be able to login before you can enter your Access Code.
- You can often purchase an Access Code at your bookstore.
- You can always purchase an Access Code online from your WebAssign Home page.
- In general, an Access Code is only good for one class. Occasionally, a textbook may include a two term Access Code.
YOUR HOME PAGE:
Your Home page for a particular class allows you to do the following:
- View the list of upcoming assignments
- Access a list of your Current Assignments or Past Assignments
- Find out when your assignments are due
- View your Calendar, listing your assignments on the due dates for all your courses, and add new personal events
- View your Grades, if your instructor has posted them

- Access the My Options link to change your email address, password, skin color, or language
- Logout of WebAssign
The Home page also gives the following information:
- Your name, as it is recorded in WebAssign
- Your instructor’s name
- The date and time when the Home page was delivered
- Announcements from your instructor
ASSIGNMENTS:
For a summary of all of your assignments with descriptions, click My Assignments in Main Menu Bar or click Current Assignments in the My Assignments module. By default, all of your current assignments will be displayed with a link to your Past Assignments.
The My Assignments summary includes:

- The date and time that the assignment is due—the last moment that you can submit work done on the assignment
- A description of the assignment
